Abstract
Traditional theoretical and empirical calculation methods can guide the design of β-and metastable β-alloys for bio-titanium.However,it is still difficult to obtain novel near-β-Ti alloys with low modulus.This study developed a method that combines machine learning with calculation of phase diagrams(CALPHAD)to facilitate the design of near-β-Ti alloys.An elastic modulus database of Ti-Nb-Zr-Mo-Ta-Sn system was constructed first,and then three features(the electron to atom ratio,mean absolute devia-tion of atom mass,and mean electronegativity)were selected as the key factors of modulus by performing a three-step feature selection.With these features,a highly accurate model was built for predicting the modulus of near-β-Ti alloys.To further ensure the accuracy of mod-ulus prediction,machine learning with the elastic constants calculated was leveraged by CALPHAD database.The root mean square error of the well-trained model can be as low as 6.75 GPa.Guided by the prediction of machine learning and CALPHAD,three novel near-β-Ti alloys with elastic modulus below 50 GPa were successfully designed in this study.The best candidate alloy(Ti-26Nb-4Zr-4Sn-1Mo-Ta)exhibits an ultra-low modulus(36.6 GPa)after cold rolling with a thickness reduction of 20％.Our method can greatly save time and resources in the development of novel Ti alloys,and experimental verifications have demonstrated the reliability of this method.
